Problems at Excite

I’ve been chasing an intermittent and inconsistent delivery problem at Excite for a week or so. Excite is accepting email, but mail is not getting to the recipient’s inbox or bulk folder. Al tweeted he’s seeing a similar problem with his customers’ mail and had contacted Excite.

Excite does appear to be aware of the issue, but I have no ETA on a fix.

Even at a free account Excite is not worth it, it has some serious lag timeat getting emails and not god to use to sign up for accounts unless you are not worried about getting access to that site for a few hours. I’ve waited more than six hours to get a email. Not to mention the new format that will not allow you to just delete it with out opening it…..

Bottom line it’s JUNK….

To prove my point, I used my old excite account to leave a reply here,

I’ll post the time I get the email sent to post this message

You can't technical your way out of the bulk folder. I wrote that a year and a half ago, and it's even more true today. Filters at the big webmail providers continue to evolve to meet new threats and new spamming techniques. Sending technically perfect mail won't get your mail into the inbox. Recipients have to want the mail and interact with the mail for good delivery.
